He's really all over the place here. First it's implanted AI, then it's mind control, now he's on a tirade about copyright. Apparently, he's upset that Amazon sells books, or rather that Amazon sells self-published books, because -- and forgive the circular logic in play here -- that kind of monopolistic behavior diffuses the sales of books so professional authors published by the big 6 lose sales to amateurs.

So now that he's left the shaky ground of technology he does not understand and is on the firmer footing of journalism, a field he knows, the book improves.

He claims people like me hate art, philosophy, and writing. I don't think he actually knows any of us.

This is pretty slow going. The author was fired from a journalist position, supposedly for being unable to adapt to changes in technology, and this is basically a tirade against those changes and the companies he feels are responsible for them.
His arguments are ludicrous. At one point he complains about GPS and accuses Google of breaking a law prohibiting computers from reading books meant for humans.
